Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades-Chapter 498 Request of Nyxtharion #2

Neo swiftly curbed the upcoming thought before Obitus could read it. "How does it feel to know you are now a being above Gods themselves?" Nyxtharion #2 questioned. "You have the power to create from nothingness. Given time, you might reach a level no one ever has." Neo stared at his Cosmos instead of answering. After creating Death Sword Firmament, he could summon it at will, and he would not expend any energy to activate Death Sword. All he had to do was trigger Death Sword itself. He could easily spam the attack. "I—" "Pardon the Great I," Nyxtharion #2 said. "The Great I forget you had sealed your memory. Please, unseal your memory. The Great I will help you hide your thoughts from the hivemind." "…?" Neo looked at the dragon with a confused gaze. "I have… sealed my memories?" "Yes, and if the Great I am correct, your true memories are hidden within the sea of madness. You should look into it, thereafter we can talk." Neo nodded, still unable to believe Nyxtharion #2. He looked into his mind. The roaring madness was trying to encroach on Neo's mind. Neo held it back with sheer willpower, but he could feel the strain burdening his mind. He focused on the madness, and he noticed something. The true face of madness. It was… Intent. The white threads that looked like flames when grouped together. Perhaps after opening his Cosmos, and creating a Consciousness, his senses had improved drastically. He could sense the countless consciousnesses making the madness. 'Darkness devours.' 'It brings a part of others' consciousness back, and when multiple consciousnesses mix, they get entangled.' 'The entangled consciousness starts creating nonsensical Intent.' 'That's the source of madness that appears when one uses Darkness.' Neo could only faintly sense the Consciousnesses creating Intent. He noticed the entangled Intent, and driven by instincts he reached out. He used his Intent to disentangle the intertwined Intents that made the madness. The external Intents were hard to control. They seemed to be moving uncontrollably under the effect of the Consciousness that created them. But Neo persisted. His ungodly willpower created Intent that would neither break, nor bend. With it, he slowly but persistently, unentangled the messy Intent of madness. The madness began to disappear. The madness had not reduced by much. It was like taking away a drop from the ocean, but the fact existed that he had reduced the madness. It was a step forward, no matter how small. As he persisted, a tunnel was dug through the sea of madness and he reached a giant cocoon of Intent, his Intent. He reached out. The cocoon burst, and the memories flooded back into his mind. Regaining his memories, Neo exhaled audibly before shifting his focus toward Nyxtharion #2. "How did you know?" "The Great I am born from the mind of the Elder Dragon Nyxtharion the Evernight. It naturally makes me wise," the dragon chuckled. "Though even the Great I cannot decide if you should be called brave or reckless. "What had you done if instead of taking you as an ally, the Great I tried to kill you and trap you? You would have been helpless without your memories," the dragon said. "It's impossible to plan for every possibility. Instead of trying to find a solution that might not exist, I decided to bet on the solution that was risky but had the highest chance of success," Neo shrugged. The dragon laughed boisterously upon noticing Neo's confident demeanor. His attitude changed drastically after he regained his memories. "Now, would you answer the Great I's question? How do you feel to gain power that could put the gods to shame?" 'I feel nothing special.' That was what Neo wanted to say. He wanted to deny the emotions surging through him. If he could enhance this power, he could defeat Tartarus. There was no way he did not feel anything. And yet, he knew, eliminating Tartarus won't bring back Elizabeth. He might be able to get his revenge with this power, but it won't bring back his happiness. "It feels good," Neo said honestly. "I might be able to defeat Tartarus with this." Nyxtharion #2 stared at Neo with serene eyes. Neo did not show arrogance or unnecessary pride despite gaining enormous power. He was the type of person Nyxtharion #2 had always been waiting for. The dragon bowed to Neo. "The Great I have helped you gain strength, in exchange the Great I request you to fulfill the Great I's request." "What do you want?" "Defeat I and….." Neo instantly noticed how the dragon called himself 'I' instead of 'Great I' like it usually did. He waited for Nyxtharion #2 to complete his words. However, when the dragon remained silent, Neo had to speak up. "And what?" "It's nothing. Please ignore it. All the Great I want from you is to defeat I." Neo scowled. The dragon was clearly hiding its true thoughts. "Spit it out." "As the Great I said there is nothing—" "Out with it."

The dragon looked at Neo and sighed. His voice grew melancholic as he spoke,

"I, or the Great I don't remember why I allied myself with Tartarus." Nyxtharion #2 raised his hand and touched his deformed face. "Was it important enough for I to do this to myself? What was it that I wanted to achieve that I willingly became a part of this wretched Hell? Have the Great I and I actually served justice or twisted desires of a madman? "The Great I want the answers." The dragon was lost in his own thoughts. Neo let the dragon contemplate uninterrupted. After the dragon was done, he smiled towards Neo. "Thank you for allowing the Great I to speak the Great I's heart. Now follow the Great I. Since you have accepted the request, the Great I would explain what you need to do, and how that would help you defeat Tartarus." He pointed at the small cave at the end of the place. "That is where 'I' live. "Centuries of years ago, I was defeated by Erza Williams. She was the only Dragon Clan leader who was able to unify all Dragon Clans. "You might know her as the wife of the Third Great Disaster, the Sword Saint Kane. She was weakened during the repeated expeditions, and she perished during the expedition in Zone 7." The dragon told Neo that Kane had been in a bad state when he reached Tartarus. He was like a man with no objective or goal. All he did was wander aimlessly, and fight. Slowly, Kane realized Tartarus was a hell where only 'evil' was imprisoned. As if the news broke something within him, he went insane, killing everyone he found, saying that even if he killed, it wasn't a sin as he was eliminating evil. He was only stopped when the dragon clans led by Erza met him, and defeated him. One thing led to another, and Erza decided to look after Kane and help him overcome the trauma that caused his insanity. The two later married, only for Erza to die during the next Grand Expedition. "While Erza was able to defeat me, she could not kill me still, even with all the Grand Expedition supporting her. "She used the power of her Demon Severant, and cut I into five hundred thirty-seven pieces. Later, the next Grand Expeditions began to kill the Great I and eradicate the Great I. "However…." The dragon took a deep breath and added,
